    My parents divorced when I was 7 years old, and every Tuesday night, I my mom would pick up my brother and I to drive us to her apartment. On the drive over, my mom would always play her Steve Earle CD. I couldn't stand Steve Earle back then, but over a decade later, I find that he allows me to reconnect to my childhood like nobody else.

When I first heard the song I immediately thought it might be the same character from Steve's song, 20 years later after never leaving. Check out Isbell's work if you haven't. I would start with Southeastern, which was his first album after getting sober.

      @darlincommitme 8 років тому +6

      +David Scott I would argue John Prine does it as well, though not necessarily better. Would be hard for me to choose between the two, but Prine's "Angel from Montgomery" is a perfect song. As a new writer Jason Isbell is showing that promise. His "Hudson Commodore" reminds me a lot of Angel, in the way it gets inside the head of an aging woman.

    And to think that I grew up in a capital city with hundreds of thousands of people in it, and I was in love with that place...
    It's only because I didn't know any better...
    I'm definitely home now though.

    I got my first car not long after this song hit the charts; a 67 Chevy, low & sleek & black. But I never put her on that interstate; I'm still here, in a small town. Each day I walk down to the lake & then I turn back around.

      Right on Joeseph. You know what they say, to sing the blues, you have to have lived the blues and Steve Earle's is the living embodiment of that phrase. His songs are the story of his life and countless other disalussioned, angry young men and women every here whose American dream never materialized like we were promised as kids. But Steve's eloquent singing from the heart and writing prowess have made him a legend amongst mainstream country artists and singer/songwriters all over the world today. I know cause I'm one of them and that's how I am in my singing and writing too. Like Hank sr. said, "boy make em feel what you feel inside".

    Although I don’t normally care for studio performances as much, nor do I care for music videos that much. This is probably the best version of this tune that I’ve heard. It also puts things into perspective for a boy from a small town Kentucky boy from a place where if you blink you miss the whole town. The town is Lacie. If you blink you miss it, it literally consists of like 4 houses and an old broke down grocery store, with an RC Cola machine out front. I’ve got me a 2001 Chevy she’s low and sneaky black, someday I’ll put her on 71 and never look back!!! 😂😂😂

    This song reminds me of back home, where the only towns within 100miles have between 50-800 people. All the kids in high school want to leave and go to the big city, but most find their way back to the country to settle down.

    Watching and hearing this fills me with a heavy, burdensome sadness....the eagerness of youth at war with the inevitability of failure, and the urgency to act before a window of opportunity is slammed shut forever. I was there. I blew it. I am envious of youthful chances.

    • @cherylewart2932
      @cherylewart2932 9 років тому

      lemme rephrase...you are right...but i was saying it in a different way...i'll try again....at the time he knew he had a gift (and still does)...he knew his options were limited if he stayed AT HOME...if anyone his age stayed there...he knew something better was OUT THERE....he was willing to take that chance and look ever the rainbow...he was also smart to leave quickly so his window of opportunity didn't close on him....he did the hard work, sometimes at great peril to himself...didnt sell out...and ultimately accomplished his goal...he is a hero...and folks are proud of his accomplishments...its just so sad when those who are younger waste use those opportunities....again...i do agree with your assessment.
